I used to own an old-style Contender and I'm thinking about putting another one together in 44 Magnum to tote around with me when in the woods hiking, and maybe even do a little Blacktail hunting with it from time to time. I'm not really interested in other barrels either. I've just got a soft spot for the 44 Mag and miss not having one since I sold my Redhawk.
So my question is whether or not to buy a 10" G2 Contender, or should I consider the Encore. How closely do they compare? Is there a compelling reason to go with the Encore? I'd appreciate any input from those that have used both configurations.
